Bioshock Infinite Gets October 16th Release Date

Since last years E3 fans of the Bioshock series were blown away from the trailer of "Bioshock Infinite" Since then we have all been wondering when Irrational games would give us a release date for it.

Well just today over at Irrational's official website it was announced that Bioshock Infinite would be hitting store shelves in the U.S. on October 16,2012 and with an international release date of October 19,2012.

Bioshock Infinite will be available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the PC when it is due to release. I can't wait to see the new direction that Irrational has set for the series and how things will all play out. Odds are we won't hear any more about the game until this years E3 but I think it is worth the wait for this title.

Duke Nukem Forever Has Gone Gold - Yep, They're Not Lying. It's Coming Out!

If you're not familiar with the phrase "Going Gold" in the game industry, let me just some it up for you, for any game that's in develoment - It's done. Yup, that's what it means and, yeah, Duke Nukem Forever has finally gone gold! After 15 years of delays and waiting, some have given up on hope for the release of the game, some not, we'll all finally be able to play this game on June 14th in the States and June 10th International.

The following is from the official Press Release:

"Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshipppable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality."

Created over the span of 15 years, Duke Nukem Forever was first developed with the intense passion and commitment from an inspired group of dedicated designers, artists and programmers at 3D Realms under the direction of game industry icon, George Broussard.

"Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary," said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. "It's an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshipppable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it's finally time to 'Come Get Some'. Come be a part of gaming history."

Also, remember the fact that there will be a demo just 1 week before the game's retail release! Be sure to actually own Boderlands: Game of the Year Edition or at least have it pre-ordered and register at the game's First Access Club!

All in all, the Duke is officially back!

Dark Souls Releasing This October

Demon's Souls; you either love it or hate it. Why? Because people have always seemed to rage quit  in the middle of the game because it's pretty damn difficult. Some say that it even puts Ninja Gaiden's difficulty to shame, but somehow, people manage to get through it. Even I ask myself how the hell they've completed the game!

To some, completing that game is like an accomplishment and without a doubt, Dark Souls will definitely be like that as well. Dark Souls, developed by From Software, who was also behind Demon's Souls, are getting ready to possibly even put their previous game's difficulty to shame. With October seeming to be the release window for the game, the announcement also comes with a complimentery trailer to show what's in store for us. God damn, they have something in store for us without a doubt!

Mega Man Legends 3 Could Be Released if the Protoype is a Success

With Mega Man Legends 3 coming along rather nicely and with the unfortunate leave of Keiji Inafune, it still seems like this project is still going to be active...that is if the Prototype version is taken very well by gamers and tested correctly when it launches on the same day Nintendo's eShop Channel goes online

According to Destructoid, if it sells well, Mega Man Legends 3 may get, what I would like to call a "second greenlight" for the project to make it fully go underway.

With promotion going well underway so far, on Japanese television, we get our first look at the actual gameplay. To Mega Man Legends fan, be prepared to "Squee!!!" Counting myself, with the looks of the gameplay, it plays just like the original PS1 classic. As far as character goes, you'll be playing as Barrett, a new character for the series, but that doesn't mean that you'll not be seeing good 'ol Mega Man. Barrett is the character that you'll be using in the Prototype. He's not Mega Man, but rest assured, I hope, we'll enjoy Barrett.

SSX Coming in January 2012

At an EA Press Event, creative director Todd Batty of the upcoming new and anticipated SSX announced that the game will be coming out in January 2012. No exact date for the game has been set, but a timeframe for a release is always welcome!

SSX had orignally had its debut as a Playtation 2 launch title and it has a created a fanbase since with it's over the top and just plain fun snowboarding gameplay, much like, in my opinion, the old school Tony Hawk skateboarding games of yore. Since then, SSX has had many spawns of sequels and with the new SSX coming to the current gen consoles, it's pretty damn interesting how this reboot will be enjoyed by new generation of gamers.
